Guys, these are 8 inch rails, on the RTP rail, a slot will give you less than 1/16" travel.
On the AM you would have less than 1/8" forward, not exactly sure what you guys are after here.
????

a slot milled for the fore grip...thats all man. that lil bit of travel can actually make a UMF frame fit a AM/MM length rail with a fore grip. that was one of the first things i asked for when El Panda made tha ArMaDa V2 rail...since i really wasnt sure what frame or fore grip i would be using with tha rail.

Like I said, I can add this but I'm not changing the standard production models.

yeah and you also asked about why some preferred a slot milled for the fore grip...so i replied. wats your problem with questions? or better yet with me asking a question? i asked if since all tha rails havent been made yet if they could get tha fore grip slot milled? you said it could be done for a fee...ok kool. i didnt ask you to change anything....so not sure why your responding to me with that comment?

I have no problem with your questions, at all. The FG slot is no problem, at all. I'm just not changing the production rails. If you want it, it's extra.

I am in the same boat but am looking for a few answers before I place an order.

I wont slam it closed, I have more little things to square away for final production. Even if it fills up today, I will leave it open for at least few days. 20 rails was not a limit, just a target, I would love to sell 40.

Factory AGD rails:
AM and RTP rails are different in thickness, the Automag is 0.555" thick. The RTP is 0.6422" thick. (mine are anyway)
The over-all design is identical, the diffrence is due to thickness and the shape difference on the bottom of the rails.
The AM bottom is designed for single screw ASA mount. It has a dovetail connection so the ASA will not spin when mounted.
The early AM frames also have a dovetail top.
The AM and RTP rails use different sears and sear pins.
The RTP has a 2 screw mount ASA.

I suggest you choose the rail that you can use your current sear and sear pin with.
If you're not sure which you have, post a picture of the sear and pin, that would be easiest.

Just a heads up...
All the new AM rails have 3 holes up front for mounting ANY AGD ASA...including the shorter, flat topped RT Pro ASA. It's a great improvement.
